Erik on IRC shared this article earlier: https://torrentfreak.com/adobe-goes-after-27-year-old-pirated-copy-of-acrobat-reader-1-0-for-ms-dos-210315/

Adobe regularly sends takedown notices targeting pirated copies of its flagship software products but the company doesn't limit itself to newer releases. F-Secure researcher Mikko Hyppönen has had one of his tweets taken down because it linked to an 'unauthorized' copy of a 27-year-old release of Acrobat Reader 1.0 for MS-DOS.

I'm betting the notice was automated. It's interesting that the original tweet is still up, which links to here.

Doesn't Twitter seem rather tired?

(Note: clarified your title, this is regrading READER, of which most versions were FREE)

Heh, I'm tired of Tweeter myself. Or maybe I'm just tired in general. Somehow even after reading the word "Reader" in the article, my brain decided to skip it. Good edit.

I am now wondering , if winworld is now going to get a DMCA takedown request for Acrobat Reader 1.0.
